0.05).While compared with the control,the permeation enhancement effects of 5% concentration of Lecithin,Oleic acid,Menthol,Limonene,and Azone were 1.37,2.25,3.71,6.75,and 10.15 times,respectively.CONCLUSION: Compared with Simomenine Hydrochloride,Simomenine free base had excellent transdermal characteristics,and was more suitable for the development of new transdermal preparation.

Objective To investigate the correlation between the expression of P-SAPK/JNK and neuronal apoptosis in the striatum during permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (pMCAO) in rats.Methods Fifty-four male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into sham operation group and pMCAO 1-,3-,6-,12-,and 24-hour groups (n =9 in each group).Apoptotic neurons in the striatum during cerebral ischemia were detected by TUNEL assay,the nuclear translocation of P-SAPK/JNK in the striatum by immunohistochemical staining expressions of P-SAPK/JNK protein by Western blot.Results The numbers TUNEL- and P-SAPK/JNK-positive cells in the striatum at 1 hour after pMCAO increased significantly (P =0.000 1),and reached the peak at 6 hours.The numbers of TUNEL-positive cells decreased at 12 hours,however,it still higher than the sham operation group (P =0.000 2).Western blot analysis showed that the expression of P-SAPK/JNK after pMCAO increased significantly,and the time-course change was in accord with the result of immunohistochemical staining Neuronal apoptosis in the striatum was significantly positively correlated with the expression of P-SAPK/ JNK (r =0.984,P =0.000 4).Conclusions Cerebral ischemia may induce neuronal apoptosis in the striatum through the activation of P-SAPK/JNK.

Objective:To compare the efficacy and safety of telbivudine (LDT) and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) treatment during the second and third trimester in pregnant women with high viral load of hepatitis B virus (HBV).Methods:Totally 506 pregnancy women with HBV infection who received antiviral therapy during the second and third trimester of pregnancy in the obstetrical clinic of The Affiliated Nanjing Hospital of Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2018 were retrospectively enrolled, and the anti-viral efficacy and safety in mothers and neonates were evaluated. Pregnancy women were divided into TDF group and LDT group according the medications. The efficacies including decline and negative rate of HBV DNA, the vertical transmission (VT) rate, the normalization rate of liver function in mothers between the two groups were compared. The safeties including birth weight of neonates, congenital deformities and the rates of preterm between the two groups were also compared. Chi-square test, independent sample t test or rank sum test were used for statistical analysis. Results:There were 239 pregnant women in the LDT group and 267 in the TDF group. The maternal HBV DNA levels before treatment in the LDT and TDF groups were (7.83±0.75) lg IU/mL and (7.82±0.66) lg IU/mL, respectively, while the maternal HBV DNA levels prior to delivery were 2.91(1.20) lg IU/mL and 2.83(1.01) lg IU/mL, respectively. The normalization rates of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) pregnant women prior to delivery in TDF group and LDT group were 95.00%(38/40) and 98.18%(54/55), respectively. There were all no significant differences between the two groups ( t=0.097, U=1.040 and χ2=0.767, respectively, all P>0.05). For CHB pregnant women, the HBV DNA negative rate at one month postpartum in TDF group was 85.45%(47/55) and that in LDT group was 82.50%(33/40). The normalization rate of ALT in TDF group was 94.55%(52/55), and that in LDT group was 92.50%(37/40). There were no significant differences between the two groups ( χ2=0.152 and 0.164, respectively, P=0.697 and 0.687, respectively). The VT rates were 0(0/262) in TDF group and 0.43%(1/231) in LDT group, which had no significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=1.127, P=0.288). Two patients in LDT group who continued taking LDT 11 months postpartum switched to TDF because of HBV rt204 mutation, and no one had virus mutation in TDF group. No significant increased in creatine kinase in LDT group, and no significant abnormal calcium and phosphorus metabolism in the TDF group. The preterm rate was 7.87%(21/267) in TDF group and 4.18%(10/239) in LDT group, but there was no significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=2.970, P=0.085). However, the birth weight of neonates in TDF group ((3 204.72±490.50) g) was lower than that in LDT group ((3 374.31±467.50) g), and the difference was statistically significant ( t=3.780, P<0.01). During the course of treatment, no pregnant women discontinued treatment due to drug intolerance, and no infants presented with drug-related birth defects. Safeties for mothers and neonates were both good. Conclusions:Both LDT and TDF treatment could reduce the VT rate in pregnant women with high HBV viral load. The safety is good for both mothers and neonates. However, for CHB pregnant women who continue antiviral therapy postpartum, TDF is superior to LDT because of lower virus mutation, thus to reduce the risk of drug resistance.

OBJECTIVETo compare the various combined immunization schemes available for treatment of babies born to mothers with high-load hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection.

METHODSA total of 118 mothers with HBV infection status of hepatitis B surface antigen-positive (HBsAg+), hepatitis B e antigen-positive (HBeAg+) and HBV DNA load of more than 1.0 * 61og10 IU/mL were included in the study. All of the participants' babies received the main-passive immunization therapy according to the wishes of their families. For analysis,the infants were grouped according to the various dosages of the vaccine program (group A: hepatitis B immunoglobulin (HBIG) 200 IU and HBVac 20 mug intramuscular;group B:HBIG 200 IU and HBVac 10 mug intramuscular; group C HBIG 100 IU and HBVac 20 mug intramuscular injection) and times, and followed-up to 7 months of age.All results were statistically analyzed using SPSS software.

RESULTSAll of the infants produced anti-HBs after vaccination.After the HBIG injection schedule was completed in January, the mean concentrations of anti-HBs in groups A, B, and C were 263.56 ± 50.98,231.06 ± 74.07, and 99.23 ± 29.82 mIU/mL respectively;the concentrations were significantly different between groups A and C, and between groups B and C (P < 0.001). In July, the titers of anti-HBs in groups A, B, and C were 788.10 ± 281.96,428.39 ± 347.48, and 708.44 ± 315.69 mIU/mL respectively; the concentrations were significantly different between groups A and B, and between groups B and C (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONAdminisWation of the hepatitis B vaccine combined with HBIG at birth can achieve immune protection for babies born to highly viremic mothers. In January, the HBIG dosage of 200 IU was more reliable than 100 IU. The hepatitis B 20 tg dose vaccine was safe and effective.
